During the height of the plandemic, many large companies in my area and in my industry immediately yanked the freedom of choice from their employees in an attempt to save face and not get gigged by the gov for not following illegal mandates. Oddly, many smaller 8(a)'s didn't blink... was kinda cool, really. Then and now I am approached by headhunters and recruiters from these big (billion dollar) firms - 'oh, we want you, we need you' blah blah ad-nauseum..

I just sent another one a kindly fuck-off note: I will not support you or your customer, thank you for your consideration.

Life is about choices - I made mine when these fuckers decided mandates held more weight than freedom.

Feels good, man.

Awesome. I've had similar offers. One job had a 10k signing bonus, they have to be desperate. They can pound sand.

yeah, man. it's a great feeling to be in a position to tell these cocksuckers to go eat an entire bag - I'll go somewhere else. majority of the smaller 8(a)s will gladly oblige exemption or fuck it off totally since the mandates have been ruled against. it really is nice to see but it does depend on the industry, kind of a trip really. that's why if it's a company I am unsure about how they handle things I will ask them upfront during the interview or even before if I get the chance.

Yep!

I usually say something like,. I am currently open to new opportunities, however it looks your company requires covid vaccination. I'm am not interested in workplaces which require vaccination. I believe that would exclude me from your search.

If they had a requirement and rescinded it, I comment how I am not willing to put myself in a workplace which has a history of jeopardizing employment status in such a way. It would be an undue risk for me to take a position at "x" company.

Have a nice day fuckers.

They need to understand how much they have limited themselves in attracting talent.

Did you get the 10k wether you lasted a 1 day?

Take it quit.

I didn't look into it, but that is not usually how those work. It more than likely was incremental with money giving out at certain times, on hire, 90 days, 6 months; something like that.
